Only 2 games in NSW (no finals), Darwin gets a quarter final, no games in Adelaide and shock horror Brisbane get the WCF.

2 games in NSW (both in Sydney) compared to 8 (including 2 finals) in Qld.

A short sighted draw that makes this event a non NSW one. Shame really opportunity missed should be games in western Sydney for the island teams.
